Hi Geoff, apologies for the delay in replying. I've not heard anything about the podcast formally. It might well be that they're looking at a different project but nothing confirmed just yet either way!
The latest step in Goole Vikings' new era takes place this weekend when they play London Broncos. Plenty going on at both clubs... Piece for BBC Sport: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-...
Fortunaaaaaaaaa! #f95
Impressed by Ulm's Maurice Krattenmacher. Smart player and good decision making. Tormented Hanover at times. #bundesliga2
Looking for an alternative Christmas film and grew up in 1980s/early 1990s? 8-Bit Christmas is perfect. All the 'John Hughes' Midwest references, Nintendo, bloody good soundtrack of great English bands and funny poignant ending.
Here is @therfl.bsky.social Challenge Cup draw for rounds one and two. So far as I know we will have a game from each of the early rounds on BBC Sport website and possibly iPlayer before joining network coverage later on www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-... #bbcrl
The referee Robert Fassolette also heavily involved in the creation and development of wheelchair rugby league!
Even better it's live here at around 18:30 GMT. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
Looking forward to the Challenge Cup draw. More of an old-school feel about the format for 2025. Exciting as it makes the season feel closer to returning.
"He plays the game so well, I'm enjoying down sitting watching him more than I am playing," the late Terry Griffiths on Jimmy White in 1984. Great player and sportsman the Welshman. RIP Terry.
Fortuna leaving it late again. Good old Vincent Vermeij.

Paige is made for the NRLW. Can't wait to see her in action. Great for the development of our elite players. Hopefully Super League and St Helens can find new talent to replace her and continue the journey. www.parra eels.com.au/news/2024/11/28/paige-travis-signs-with-the-parramatta-eels/
Absolutely loving James Martin Spanish Adventures. Best series since Keith Floyd's Floyd on Spain. No expat chats. Genuine Spanish cooks and guests. The food is outstanding. Just brilliant.
Folk struggling to pick between Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo never saw Nigel Clough in his pomp. Or John Robertson for that matter.
Only found out today after many years of singing it aloud that it's "Nigel isn't outspoken..." rather than "Nigel is a nice boy and..." in #XTC 'Making Plans For Nigel'. What an outstanding record that is as well. So much going on musically. Simply magnificent.
Can't knock @hullkrofficial.bsky.social for their Netherlands '88 inspired gear to tee up the Amsterdam Challenge next year against York Knights. Great marketing idea.
Just watched a lovely Stanley Cup history documentary from the 1993 centenary season on YouTube. Would welcome any other random documentary recommendations - whatever platform - but especially retro. Thank you! This was it: youtu.be/6ip4fJu935o?...
Like I said to one of your fellow Foxes, you'll certainly know better than me how he was going. Will be interested to see who you go for next...
Fair play - you'll know better than I!
Disappointed for Steve Cooper. If he was going to get sacked by Leicester you'd have thought they'd be floundering but they're not. Life is tough for newly promoted teams. Hope he gets a new job soon and at least know I can cheer his achievements. Quite hard to wish Leicester well as a Forest fan...
NeighNeigh Macdonald.
Excellent Bye Round podcast by James Graham and Josh Hodgson. Some brilliant points and absolute common sense. Love the fact Hodgson is so excited about being a good mentor to young players. You'd love to play for him.
Really enjoyed the Boston Red Sox documentary on Netflix. Where they ended their drought in 2004. I mean, it wasn't quite Forest winning the European Cup two years out of the second division or Featherstone beating Hull in 1983/Sheffield beating Wigan 1998 but it was still an achievement.
I also hope you get better weather than we did! Belted it down a few times! Enjoy the Cisk!
We saw a small exhibition at that museum about the battle Ohio faced to make it to harbour and it was amazing to think of the carnage the convoy faced. Will hunt that book out mate on your recommendation.
Class. Thank you for sharing. A few years back I got chance to write this - www.bbc.co.uk/sport/extra/... Such a privilege to immerse myself in the story and again, that's a fantastic pic you've posted.
Good to be reacquainted!
Ha ha thanks mate. I'll take it even if anything could have soundtracked the glory ha ha! A great year to be a Wiganer!
